Add an initial implementation of a proper (i.e. an ELF shared library) VDSO. With this commit it does not export any symbols, it only replaces the current signal return trampoline page. A later commit will add user implementations of gettimeofday()/clock_gettime(). To support both new toolchains and old ones which don't generate ABI flags section, we define its content manually and then use a tool (genvdso) to patch up the section to have the correct name and type. genvdso also extracts symbol offsets ({,rt_}sigreturn) needed by the kernel, and generates a C file containing a "struct mips_vdso_image" containing both the VDSO data and these offsets. This C file is compiled into the kernel. On 64-bit kernels we require a different VDSO for each supported ABI, so we may build up to 3 different VDSOs. The VDSO to use is selected by the mips_abi structure. A kernel/user shared data page is created and mapped below the VDSO image. This is currently empty, but will be used by the user time function implementations which are added later. [markos.chandras@imgtec.com: - Add more comments - Move abi detection in genvdso.h since it's the get_symbol function that needs it. - Add an R6 specific way to calculate the base address of VDSO in order to avoid the branch instruction which affects performance. - Do not patch .gnu.attributes since it's not needed for dynamic linking. - Simplify Makefile a little bit. - checkpatch fixes - Restrict VDSO support for binutils < 2.25 for pre-R6 - Include atomic64.h for O32 variant on MIPS64] Signed-off-by:Alex Smith <alex.smith@imgtec.com> Signed-off-by:

IDE subsystem has been deprecated since 2009 and the majority (if not all) of Linux distributions have switched to use libata for ATA support exclusively. However there are still some users (mostly old or/and embedded non-x86 systems) that have not converted from using IDE subsystem to libata PATA drivers. This doesn't seem to be good thing in the long-term for Linux as while there is less and less PATA systems left in use: * testing efforts are divided between two subsystems * having duplicate drivers for same hardware confuses users This patch converts mpc30x_defconfig to use libata PATA drivers. PS This platform still uses "ide0=base[,ctl[,irq]]" hack in its defconfig. The hack itself has been removed in 2008 and this platform should be converted to using PATA platform host driver (pata_platform) instead. Signed-off-by:

PS This platform uses CS5536 chipset which (due to historical reasons) has basic support in AMD/nVidia PATA host driver and full support in a newer CS5536 PATA one (pata_cs5536). Thus most likely this platform should switch to using the latter host driver. Signed-off-by:

If we fail to register any real SMP implementations, fall back to registering the dummy UP implementation. Otherwise when we build an SMP kernel & run it on a system where the SMP implementations fail to probe (eg. QEMU) the kernel will perform a NULL dereference attempting to call mp_ops->smp_setup() from plat_smp_setup(). Notably this fixes booting kernels with CPS SMP enabled on QEMU, which doesn't currently implement the CM, CPC or GIC. Signed-off-by:

Move memory configuration to be performed via device tree for the Malta board. This moves more Malta specific code to malta-dtshim.c, leaving the rest of the mti-malta code a little more board-agnostic. This will be useful to share more code between boards, with the device tree providing the board specifics as intended. Since we can't rely upon Malta boards running a bootloader capable of handling devictrees & filling in the required information, a piece of shim code (malta_dt_shim) is added to consume the (e)memsize variables provided as part of the bootloader environment (or on the kernel command line) then generate the DT memory node using the provided values.

Commit a68d09a1 ("MIPS: Don't use RI/XI with 32-bit kernels on 64-bit CPUs") prevented use of RIXI on MIPS64 systems, stating that the "TLB handlers cannot handle this case". What they actually couldn't handle was cases where there were less fill bits in the Entry{Lo,Hi} registers than bits used by software in PTEs. The handlers can now deal with this case, so enable RIXI for MIPS32 kernels on MIPS64 systems. Note that beyond the obvious benefits provided by having RIXI on such systems, this is required for systems implementing MIPSr6 where RIXI cannot be disabled. This reverts commit a68d09a1 ("MIPS: Don't use RI/XI with 32-bit kernels on 64-bit CPUs"). Signed-off-by:

Commit 748e787e ("MIPS: Optimize TLB refill for RI/XI configurations.") stopped explicitly clearing the bits used by software in PTEs by making use of a rotate instruction that rotates them into the fill bits of the Entry{Lo,Hi} register. This can only work if there are actually enough fill bits in the register to cover the software maintained bits, otherwise we end up writing those bits into the upper bits of the PFN or PFNX field of the Entry{Lo,Hi} register. Fix this by detecting the number of fill bits present in the Entry{Lo,Hi} registers & explicitly clearing the software bits where necessary. Signed-off-by:

The cpu_has_rixi cases in build_update_entries are now identical to the non-RIXI cases with the one exception of the r45k_bvahwbug case which is hardcoded as never happening anyway & presumably was either missed from the RIXI path or would never happen on a CPU with RIXI support.

Prior to release 6 of the MIPS architecture it has been implementation dependent whether masked interrupts cause a wait instruction to return, so the kernel has effectively had to maintain a whitelist of cores upon which it is safe to use the r4k_wait_irqoff cpu_wait implementation. With MIPSr6 this is no longer implementation dependent and r4k_wait_irqoff can always be used. Remove the existing I6400 case which will no longer ever be hit, and was incorrect anyway since I6400 & r6 in general doesn't have the WII bit. Signed-off-by:

Document that CPC core-other accesses must take place within the bounds of the CM lock, and begin using the CM lock functions where we access the GCRs of other cores. This is required because with CM3 the CPC began using GCR_CL_OTHER instead of CPC_CL_OTHER. Signed-off-by:

Introduce mips_cm_lock_other & mips_cm_unlock_other, mirroring the existing CPC equivalents, in order to lock access from the current core to another via the core-other GCR region. This hasn't been required in the past but with CM3 the CPC starts using GCR_CL_OTHER rather than CPC_CL_OTHER and this will be required for safety.

Provide support for outputting early debug information, in the form of various register values should an exception occur, during the early bringup of secondary cores. This code requires an ns16550-compatible UART accessible from the secondary core, and is written in assembly due to the environment in which such early exceptions occur where way may not have a stack, be coherent or even have initialised caches.

Remove the definition in locore.S and move a few of the other similar definitions in asm/mipsregs.h too. CP0_INTCTL, CP0_SRSCTL, & CP0_SRSMAP are unused so they're just dropped instead. CP0_DDATA_LO is left where it is as I have patches to eliminate its use in locore.S and it otherwise is unlikely to need to be used from assembly code. Signed-off-by:
